a fucking music CD that installs a rootkit on your computer... I hope someone sues the everliving fucking shit out of them - fucking sons of bitches.
Here- let me do the right thing and buy a CD.. oh wait sony just fucking blew up my computer. A couple grand on a god damn computer that you torched just so you can protect your fucking mp3s Sony.. that'll teach me to fucking buy a CD. The honest ones get fucked.. might as well just download the clean mp3s from a file sharing place. I think I just figured out what crime I'll commit if I commit one.. this fucking industry needs to catch up to the times.. FAST.
EDIT: Oh did I mention that it prevents your fucking CD drive from working if you try to delete it? Yea.. good ol RIAA.
